Not as good as I remember it..
..Which is unfair, considering I've only played the shareware version of it, all those years ago ( can't believe it's almost three full decades now). Funny thing: It's one of those cases where I want to enjoy it at it fullest, considering that I love almost every other Apogee platform games, buuuut I can, for the simple fact that every single one of the other Apogee game are way more enjoyable and .. well.. better design. This does not mean '' the game hasn't a character'': it's actually pretty colorful and funny ( a little too much similar to Commander Keen, but to tell honestly they might share the same in-game universe) and, later, becomes a little weird. No no no no, the game really focuses too much on one single aspect: being a d**k. But not in a funny way, like Bio menace, but in a monotonous, excruciating manner that really drops the ball after the first episode, and to tell the truth even before that. Other than that, story is ( like wow) almost the same of one of the ep of Commander Keen, soundtrack is enjoyable ( if you are into old PC sounds) and the graphics are the typical Apogee game ( although there a few exception). But, in the end, although it does provide the player with the unique ability ( at least at the time) of sticking to the walls, doesn't get that placing 2000 traps in a single level for every level of the game doesn't really push the average player ( for the time, since the market was different, maybe) into playing it for a long time. So, worth buying? ...Yes, but only for retro and nostalgia fun. All other, stay very away. P.S. Unfortunately this game didn't STICK around to much! ( nope, this pun truly sucks..)
Is this helpful to you?
